are you ready for the 300-600 condos that will be built around the temple?

They have been taking about a bridge over SS since we moved here in 2011.

2100 North will eventually be a freeway

It should have been built that way in the first place. It should always have gone over/under Bangerter.

2100 in Lehi is connected to Bangerter?

Florwood

Meant Redwood.

Spiff

2100N will connect to Mountain View Corridor. MVC will become the frontage road

The problem here is money. If UDOT had the money to build a freeway that would

In that case, I’d guess the planners have little to nothing to do with approving

The assumptions on # of people who will use public transport are way too high.

Little to no options for public transportation in EM or SS.

Never underestimate public officials. They have a great capacity to

Should build a highway either on 2100 or over Utah lake and make it a toll road so everyone in Utah doesn’t have to foot
